The collection employs interrelated concepts of adaptation, remediation and appropriation to reflect on Beckett’s own evolving approach to crossing genre boundaries and to analyse the ways in which contemporary artists across different media and diverse cultural contexts – including the UK, Europe, the USA and Latin America – continue to engage with Beckett. The book offers fresh insights into how his work has kept inspiring both practitioners and audiences in the twenty-first century, operating through methodologies and approaches that aim to facilitate and establish the study of modern-day adaptations, not just of Beckett but other (multimedia) authors as well.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmContributor: Jonathan Bignell (Edited by), Pim Verhulst (Edited by), Anna McMullan (Edited by)Genre: Literary CriticismTopic: Music Dance & Theatre, Films & TVItem Width: 17mmAuthor: Jonathan BignellRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
